  • Brake cover plate
    Patent number: 9239087
    Abstract: A brake cover plate for a disc brake of a motor vehicle having a plate-like section for covering a brake disc. An annular elevation which is spaced apart from the outer edge of the brake cover plate is formed on the side facing the brake disc as a wheel-bearing pre-seal. Furthermore, the brake cover plate forms a fastening flange radially within the annular elevation in order to fix the brake cover plate to a wheel carrier or the like. A wheel-bearing pre-seal is integrated into the brake cover plate via the annular elevation, the wheel-bearing pre-seal reducing the soiling of a wheel bearing thus improving the service life of the latter.
